History of the MiG-25
Foxbat
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25
(Foxbat) is a very high-speed
interceptor and reconnaissance
bomber aircraft designed by the
Soviet Union's Russian airplane
company, Mikoyan-Gurevich bureau.
In fact, the MiG-25 Foxbat is the
world's fastest fighter aircraft. By the
time the US bomber was cancelled,
the Russians were loath to cancel
the project and thought that a fast
interceptor would always be useful
and could be used as a
reconnaissance platform as
well.
In 1964, the MiG-25 was first
flown as a prototype and it entered
service in 1970. It has a top-speed
of Mach 3.2, a powerful radar and
four air-to-air missiles. The
development of the MiG-25 began in
the 1950s. With the first Mach 2
aircraft beginning to enter service,
Mach 3 seemed like the next logical
step.
Four MiG-25Rs were temporarily
in service with Egyptian Air Force in
1971 under the cover designation of
X-500. All four had EAF markings.
They flew over Israel in pairs roughly
20 times. The Israeli Air Force found
it impossible to intercept them, even
though Israeli intelligence knew
when the over flights were
scheduled. The MiG-25Rs went
back home in 1972, though
reconnaissance Foxbats were sent
back to Egypt in October 1973, after
the Yom Kippur War, and remained
there in 1974. The Israeli Air Force
did not have the capability to
intercept MiG-25 downed an Israeli
F-15 in 1981.
The MiG-25 was in service with
the Iraqi Air Force during the Iran-
Iraq War, but its combat results are
unclear. Currently, the MiG-25
Foxbat is being replaced by the MiG-
31 Foxhound, but is used a little in
other countries.
